For Christina Tourin, Geodepédie - Hidden Light, is more than simply the perfect title for the influential, world renowned harpist/composer’s sparkling, magically lyrical new age album – her first since 2010’s Iona Inspirations, which capped a prolific and prodigious 20 years of composing and recording.
“With a twist on Erik Satie's Gymnopedie,” Tourin says, “I present Geodepédie! May we open ourselves to let light shine forth as with a beautiful geode!” The new album is a journey of peace and wonder, reflecting the boundless immensity of the earth and sky.
With each track, Tourin strives for a sound that can transform lives, emotionally and spiritually. Listeners may imagine the shining inside of a newly-opened geode, while also picturing a crystalline night sky filled with glittering stars, planets and galaxies. The music, she says, creates a place to find the center of one’s being, allowing each listener to let go of tension and rise into the cumulus of their own imagination.
Musicians on the album include Christina Tourin (harp), Peter Sprague(guitar/synth), David Eastoe (synth), Suzanne Doucet (synth), Buvana Gerlach (vocals), Lies Joosten (Harp,Track 1). The album was produced by Christina Tourin for her Emerald Harp Productions, LLC, and recorded at SpragueLand Studios, Encinitas, CA, with sound engineer Peter Sprague. Cover design is by Jaime Tourin, with liner notes by Jonathan Widran.
Tourin truly lives a life “as above so below,” experiencing the magnificent and transcendent in small but significant ways. As one of the foremost leading educators of the harp, she founded the International Harp Therapy Program, which has training centers in multiple countries and languages with Therapeutic Harp Practitioners from 32 countries serving on five continents.
Tourin’s musical life has taken her around the world from Japan to Ireland, where she’s brought the National Instrument of the harp to blind children. She trained in performance both at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and at McGill University in Montreal, and has accompanied chorales, performed with symphonies and been part of ensembles in off Broadway theaters. A highlight of her career is performing for 17 years for the Von Trapp Family at their Austrian Chalet Lodge in Vermont.
Harp has been in Tourin's family for several generations. As she says, “Expressing through music is not what I do, it’s who I am.”
